Grants and Contributions
About this information
In June 2016, as part of the Open Government Action Plan, the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) committed to increasing the transparency and usefulness of grants and contribution data and subsequently launched the Guidelines on the Reporting of Grants and Contributions Awards, effective April 1, 2018.
The rules and principles governing government grants and contributions are outlined in the Treasury Board Policy on Transfer Payments. Transfer payments are transfers of money, goods, services or assets made from an appropriation to individuals, organizations or other levels of government, without the federal government directly receiving goods or services in return, but which may require the recipient to provide a report or other information subsequent to receiving payment. These expenditures are reported in the Public Accounts of Canada. The major types of transfer payments are grants, contributions and \'other transfer payments\'.
Included in this category, but not to be reported under proactive disclosure of awards, are (1) transfers to other levels of government such as Equalization payments as well as Canada Health and Social Transfer payments. (2) Grants and contributions reallocated or otherwise redistributed by the recipient to third parties; and (3) information that would normally be withheld under the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act.

Next Generation Holographic Display Prototype
1039496
The Firm is advancing next-generation holographic displays by transitioning from its proven NOVAC™ system to a flat-panel architecture to reduce costs, improve manufacturability, and enable scalable production for defence and future commercial markets. A critical step is developing a flat-panel prototype through a specialized fabrication partnership with a leading research institute in Germany. With NRC IRAP support, the Firm will generate the technical data and process knowledge needed to refine its flat-panel design and lay the groundwork for a secure, globally competitive holographic display manufacturing capability in Canada.

Development of a Hybrid Electric Piston Engine Demonstrator
1039627
This project addresses this gap through the design of a patent-pending Hybrid Intelligent Piston Engine (HIPE) operating on lead-free automotive fuel as a direct retrofit for legacy aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). HIPE integrates an electric motor into a liquid cooled engine crankshaft and uses a real-time AI controller to reduce fuel costs by 70% and increase time between overhauls by 50%. A scaled proof-of-concept prototype will be built to demonstrate hybrid operation and validate efficiency gains.

Scenario Analysis and System Hydraulics
1039869
Barreleye Ltd. develops software that optimizes water use in oil and gas operations. The proposed Scenario Analysis and System Hydraulics project expands Barreleye’s platform with economic scenario analysis and engineering-grade fluid dynamics modeling. These tools allow producers to evaluate alternatives to freshwater while validating the economic feasibility of using recycled produced water, brackish water, or blended solutions instead. Scenario planning informs short and long term investment decisions that accelerate the transition away from the requirement of, or reliance on, freshwater. System hydraulics ensures accurate water flow forecasting in complex geographies maximizing recycled produced water use over freshwater.
